ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): Set the wheels in motion. Now is the time for taking action, putting things in order, or getting that latest project off the ground. A new romantic interest may just be looking for a good time rather than an eventual commitment.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Strut your stuff. Your personality will be glowing today and you'll be the one everybody wants to be around. You can have it your way just by making your feelings known, so don't go off on your own and waste opportunities.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Perspective is everything. While a situation may seem impossible from one viewpoint, approaching it from a different angle could provide enlightenment. Unusual people will seem far more interesting than those who play by the rules today.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Go your own way. Breaking away from the pack and finding solutions on your own will make things run much more smoothly for you. The harder the challenge you face, the more your brain will go into overdrive to meet it head on.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Shine in the spotlight. Today, you'll be bursting with star quality in everything you do. There's no limit to what you can accomplish, and you'll have a fair share of admirers who'll support your efforts along the way.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A good hand is worth playing. It won't hurt to take a bit of a risk today, especially when there are valuable rewards to be gained. Pursuing romantic interests could yield interesting and pleasant results.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22.): Conventional means may not work. When faced with a tough problem, you may need to mix innovation and creative thinking to find the solution. A new acquaintance may add spice to your love life, but only briefly.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Rise to the challenge. You can overcome even the most monumental of tasks by adopting an "I can" attitude. Doubt can make a difficult job seem even more difficult. Don't mistake mere politeness as a romantic advance.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Dare to be different. Sticking to established routines and activities may yield only yawns. Expand your horizons by trying something new. Meet new people, visit new places and explore new ideas.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Change is for the better. You can break out of the proverbial rut by adopting a new approach to the daily grind. It may not be drastic, but a different perspective could change your entire outlook in a good way.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Put your best foot forward. Displaying a bit of charm could do wonders toward breaking down barriers with a new acquaintance. There's no need to put on airs when just being yourself is all that's required to seal a deal.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): You can't move a mountain. Avoid dealing with people who are set in their ways and inflexible, as they won't budge when it comes to negotiations. Use your wit and charm to break the ice with new people.

IF AUGUST 27 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: You may be "in the groove" during the next 3-4 weeks. You're capable of making smart business and financial decisions, plus have the advantage of feeling imaginative and creative. Between mid-September and mid-November, however, your efforts to be a financial expert and business whiz could fall flat. Hold off on making any other crucial job and financial decisions until the end of the year. Your ambitions may become supercharged in January, but you must work extra hard to earn advancement or achieve success in January and February.
